Kim Reynolds’ house. A petition filed by the Terrace Hill Society Foundation lays out a conflict it says has grown between it and the Terrace Hill Commission, the state agency responsible for managing Terrace Hill, the official Iowa governor’s mansion in Des Moines. The nonprofit organization maintains it owns many of the furnishings and other items in the mansion. But, according to court filings, the Terrace Hill Commission is denying the group access to maintain and inspect its collection.
